Foreword by Professor Ian Plimer

Cited by
governments around the world, the Climate Bible is the reason carbon taxes are
being introduced, heating bills are rising, and costly new regulations are being
enacted. It is why everyone thinks carbon dioxide emissions are dangerous. Put
simply: the entire planet is in a tizzy because of a United Nations
report.

What most of
us don't know is that, rather than being written by a meticulous, upstanding
professional in business attire, the Climate Bible is produced by a slapdash,
slovenly teenager who has trouble distinguishing right from
wrong.

This exposé,
by an investigative journalist, is the product of two years of research. Its
conclusion: almost nothing we've been told about the IPCC is true.

What they are saying about The Delinquent
Teenager...

"Donna Laframboise’s book must be read. She is an
investigative journalist who once believed what she read about climate
change. She believed the planet was warming due to human emissions of
carbon dioxide. That was until she started to peel back the layers
and look at the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC). This
UN
organisation claims it uses dispassionate independent eminent climate
scientists
to come to conclusions about the planet’s climate. Nothing could be
further from
the truth. The IPCC was established to prove pre-ordained conclusions
contrary
to a huge body of existing validated evidence. Rather than using
evidence and
logic, the IPCC has relied on spin and propaganda. To quote Laframboise:
“the
IPCC has been leaving out important information. It has been tailoring
its
message".” - Professor Ian Plimer - author of Heaven+Earth and How to
Get
Expelled from School.

"Blooming brilliant. Devastating. I read this book with
mounting horror at the failure of the journalistic profession to do its job.
Donna Laframboise has done a lonely and thorough investigation exposing shocking
bias, distortion and deception in an international institution." Matt Ridley, author of The Rational
Optimist

"Donna Laframboise does what good journalists do. She
does not parrot authority, but asks "is that so?" In this book, she shines a
hard light on the rotten heart of the IPCC." Richard S.J. Tol,
Professor of the Economics of Climate Change and convening lead author of the
IPCC

"As much as it took courage for Donna Laframboise to
write this remarkable book, it will likely take even more courage for people to
read it, for it shatters one of the most passionately-held illusions of the
modern age. The IPCC is widely believed to be an authoritative, trustworthy
source of scientific information on climate change. Billions of dollars worth of
policy decisions have been made around the world based on this assumption. But
in this quietly devastating exposé, investigative journalist Donna Laframboise
shows that the IPCC's actual operations bear little resemblance to its public
reputation; that far from being an open network of top experts it has turned
itself into a narrow clique of like-minded activists; and that its reports have
come to be more like agenda-driven propaganda than competent, objective
scientific assessments. If you have suspected these things yourself, you will
want to read this book. If the idea upsets or offends you, you need to read this
book. Its implications are far-reaching and the need to begin acting on them is
urgent. I congratulate Donna Laframboise for her outstanding investigation of
this complex issue and I recommend this book highly." Ross McKitrick, Professor of Economics, University of
Guelph

"Donna Laframboise has written an excellent book
describing major problems with the IPCC. Written in clear and compelling
language, she makes the case for major reform at that institution with example
after example. Although some of these examples are continuations of her
investigative work found on her highly readable weblog, much of the material is
new - and all of it is fascinating. This will sit on my bookshelf right next to
Andrew Montford's The Hockey Stick Illusion, another example of the value
provided by those willing and able to challenge the climate change consensus." Tom Fuller, co-author of Climategate: The CRUtape
Letters

"In the
past important ideas were subject to open, public contest. Donna Laframboise's
excellent book shows how the IPCC has escaped the processes which once
disciplined institutions of power and influence. It does not respond to
criticism or challenges without a tantrum - and it conceals itself from open
debate. Worst of all, politicians take the advice of this spoilt and conceited
institution at face-value, deflecting criticism of their own policies by hiding
behind its scientific expertise." Ben
